*Thank you for being a fellow volunteer collaborator on Find A Grave.

If you have never read Help or the Terms of Service/Community rules or haven't for some time I would suggest you do so as there is lots of important information in them regarding rules and processes on the site, creating memorials, suggesting edits, transfers, posting of items that are under copyright or another sites terms of service, etc.

I have recently chosen to exercise the option Findagrave gives us of disabling messages and hiding my email address due to others misusing them.

*EDIT SUGGESTIONS - Please use the "Suggest Edits" tab to suggest any additions and corrections as outlined in Help/Support Center.
I will most likely research your edit requests and will likely decline if I can't verify the suggestion with the resources available to me. It is nothing personal, but based on experience often necessary. Documentation verifying the suggestion is always welcome.

*OBITUARIES - The Terms of Service/Community Rules we all agreed to when we joined the site prohibit adding copyrighted materials (obits, pictures, etc.) without permission from the copyright holder and adding material prohibited by the TOS of sites you may have found the information on. I will not add items that may violate Findagraves TOS or that of other sites. I will gladly add the name of the newspaper and date of publication to the bio and original bios. I will also not name possibly living survivors per findagrave rules and for privacy.
*Please do not post items that you do not possess copyright for or have express permission to post to the photo section per the sites TOS/Community Rules .

*TRANSFERS - Findagrave only requires transfers of direct ancestors and descendants within 4 generations (spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren), unless the manager is also related within those guidelines. Please use the the process outlined in the help/support center to request transfers.

*BURIAL UNKNOWNS - I will not link to memorials where the burial location is unknown or to people who have obviously been intentionally placed in a cemetery where someone "thinks" they "might be" (especially when I know it has been proven they are not buried there) or where the "body lost or destroyed" designation is clearly being misused (that designation is not supposed to be used just because you don't know where a person is buried). Findagrave does not require linking to memorials where the final disposition is unknown or guessed at.

Findagrave is not a family tree site or a memorial site, it is a site to document final dispositions with the ability to add information that is of genealogical value and that helps memorialize a persons life. There are many good family tree building sites and memorial sites.
